Like all of you I am so stoked to get the season going. Been a long journey for us here in the Nation the last 10 years. Simply amazing to think of what we've been through.
Had someone penned the "worst case scenario for the Vols the next 10 years" article in the year 2006, it would have never envisioned the depths we really reached. Amazing frankly. We all might have just witnessed the modern era Dark Ages of Vol football once the story is truly written. My heart of hearts tells me that's true.......
Conversely, my gut tells me we are about to embark upon a revival of whose heights we won't equally have imagined. Often in life it works like that. Great failure is followed by great success. Its always darkest before the dawn.....
Cliches? Surely. But there is reasoning there. Those that have labored in the hallows this long (wearing the T they know belongs on higher elevations) get hungry. Angry even. Hell, perhaps even spiteful. That drives success at a fundamental level despite "the hype".
And I've learned as one who has made the stock market my home, things can go a lot lower than you ever could have imagined. And lot a higher too.
Imagine investing in UT during the "price low" of 2007 or 2008. Could not blame anyone really. Great brand at a great price. Truth is its been dead money for damn near a decade. A decade!
To my point - UT right now is a STRONG BUY. Perhaps the strongest. Sure the risk takers would say last year was the time to buy. And yep, the're probably right. But for the rest of us who want a great stock at a great price where the risk/reward is clearly in your favor - its time to buy UT. Hell, its time to back up the truck.......
(And for those that want a diversified portfolio - consider adding in some shares of Michigan, Houston, and Arizona.
